David was outstanding and very efficient!

Truly excellent in every single way. We had Dave as our inspector when we were in the process of purchasing our 100+ year old home. Dave knows and loves old houses, which is a huge benefit because he knows what MUST be fixed and what is "nice" to fix, and his inspection clearly documents these fine details. He gave AMAZING service, top notch inspection, took time to explain findings to me (I am a novice), and immediately printed out his findings (with pics!) in a handy binder with information about how to keep my home in best condition. His inspection actually saved us quite a lot of money as we were able to negotiate the seller down almost $10,000 dollars based on his findings. We have lived in our house almost a year now and his inspection was accurate to everything we have seen in the home. We have also used Buyer's Inspection Service FAQ Recommended Vendors page quite a lot while we are making repairs on our home and we have never been disappointed in the businesses recommended. Buyer's Inspection Service is a gem!

Most professional and detailed inspection I could ever expect. I will never look further than buyers home inspection for home inspection services!

Here are some key observations from my experience, that should help other buyers in their decision making process:1) David is a highly skilled inspector, who is very thorough and efficient with the inspection time.2) David communicates all of the important points of his inspection in a manner that can be understood by either a novice an experienced DIYer (I am the latter). This is important, because most inspection reports come back with a lot of items, and this can be very overwhelming to the buyer. David was also able to describe both verbally and on paper the items that were the most important to address.3) Buyer's Inspection Service can perform most or all of the desired inspections for a pending home purchase. This was a very important factor for us - out of 5 different quotes I received, they were the only ones that could perform or source all of these: home inspection, well pressure/flow inspection, radon, and termite. All of the others either had significant additional charges, or altogether could not help me get them done (which would have required scheduling several other individual inspections).4) Focus on key services - David looked at structural, safety, and functional items, in a very detailed manner. There was no "fluff", just the stuff I really cared about, including smaller items like a poorly fastened attic access ladder. Other inspection services included things that I didn't care about (thermal/IR scan of the home, etc.), with no option to remove those to bring down the price.5) Price-competitive - this was hands down the best bang-for-your-buck inspection I could get, which surprised me, honestly. I have participated in other less thorough inspections that were more expensive on a square-foot and extra options basis.Summing up - you can't go wrong with these guys. I was blown away with the quantitative aspects (the actual inspection, report, supporting pictures, etc.) and the qualitative aspects (professionalism, personality, and COVID protocols). You won't be disappointed!

I could not believe how thorough the inspector was! He talked to me the whole way through. Explained everything. He had the report ready and sent to me before he left. He went over it and made sure I understood. For everything he did the cost was totally reasonable. He was professional and very very knowledgeable!!! I can't say enough good things about Buyers Inspection!!!

On time, extremely professional and very knowledgeable.. Funny thing was the construction company's independent inspector came through (Started about an hour after mine did and finished an hour before mine left... so I wonder who was more thorough! . VERY happy and definitely recommend!

Ryan is professional and provides a good value for our apartment acquisition projects. We’ve used BIS on a total of 96 unit inspections to date, and will use BIS next time too!

We used Buyer's Inspection Service for a pre-purchase home inspection. David Roche, a true professional, was fantastic to work with and we'd recommend to anyone looking for a home inspection to use BIS. He was knowledgeable and thorough allowing us the peace of mind and all the facts possible to make a solid decision about the property we were under contract on.I'm sure there are less expensive inspection services but with Mr. Roche's experience and knowledge we saved ourselves thousands of dollars and could make an incredibly well-informed decision on such an important investment.This is exactly the kind of business realtors would hire when purchasing property for themselves but would rather not have you show up with when investigating one of their listings. A+ service and professionalism. Extremely thorough.

Hired Buyer's Inspection Service in August, 2020 prior to purchasing our home, and we are delighted with the level of detail, and expertise, provided by Ryan. The new home has been under the care of a conscientious, highly skilled homeowner - and even he was surprised by a few of Ryan's discoveries! It is without reservation that I recommend Buyer's Inspection Service.

Definitely happy with my inspection. I found that the inspector was able to speak to me at levels that I understood. Where i was familiar, we were able to get into detail and where I was unfamiliar he was able to explain to me in normal terms. Still working on the list but the inspection helped me to be confident in my purchase! Will recommend moving forward.Thank you!

We were very pleased with the professionalism and thoroughness of David's inspection, and his patience in explaining necessary repairs and possible problems in the home which we ultimately bought. As a result of the inspection we were able to successfully negotiate repairs with the seller. With so many different parties involved in the home-buying transaction, we found it very reassuring to have David looking out for our interests.

We have used Buyer’s Inspection Service multiple times. They have helped us with two of our personal homes. David has a profound knowledge of older homes, in particular, which easily translates to his insights on newer homes also. He just sees things other inspectors don’t. It’s pretty amazing. The whole team is communicative, insightful, punctual, and a genuine pleasure to deal with. Setting up appointments, and even doing the inspection review, is/was super easy. They have a really good way of arming you with knowledge and making you feel educated and safe with your decision. Truly love working with them. Will use and recommend them time and again. Sláinte!

Ryan White is agreat, he saved a lot of money on house. He found two gas leaks, and mold in the basement. We got out of the contact and we were able to find a better home for us.Again we used Ryan to check the home. Buyer’s Inpection Service helped us find the perfect home.

Ryan was great as our house inspector. Within a day of calling they inspected the house in full detail with a full report. I couldn’t have asked for better service being on the other side of the country away from our future house. Thank you so much for the great service! Will use again!!

We worked with Dave and we're very happy with our inspection. He was thorough and answered all the questions we had.

We used Buyer's Inspection Services for the final inspection of our newly built home. We were not local to the area and the inspector went above and beyond for us. He took extra photo documentation of everything so we were able to see all the details of the inspection notes. The inspector was very thorough and the project manager of our home was impressed by how thorough the inspector was. He blue taped the home and provided a punch list for the builders. The report came back within 24 hours. We would happily use then again.
Teri Hartshorn

Very professional, very thorough. Inspector walked me through and showed me every issue he found. Seller was dishonest on disclosures and refused to fix anything, but I’m confident I know all of the issues with this property because of the thorough inspection provided by Buyer’s Inspection Service. I highly recommend!!

David was VERY thorough and communicative. He exceeded all my expectations and really made me feel comfortable moving forward with our home. As a first time home buyer, it’s important to get an inspector who takes the time to not only inspect every inch of the home, but explain things. 10/10 would recommend!

I found this company to be very professional and efficient.Their service was excellent. Ryan did our inspection for us and as we found him to be very efficient at his job and pleasant to work with.He explained everything to us when he was finished, offered suggestions regarding the work that should be done. We were given a notebook when he was finished to take home and look over which was very helpful. We definitely would recommend this company to anyone needing a home inspection and feel they would be very pleased with the service.
Thank you, Ann and Cal Hites.

My wife and I are thoroughly pleased with Buyer's Inspection Service. Our inspector was thorough and extremely knowledgeable. We have used him twice in our home buying process and will be recommending him to everyone we know that requires inspection service. As new home buyers, it's good to know the ins and outs of the home we are buying, and David made sure to show us everything we needed to know about our future home. We appreciate all that this company has done for us!

The best home inspection group hands down. Seriously, look no further for a home inspector. David Roche was thorough, friendly, answered all our questions, explained everything we didn't understand, and provided a binder with detailed descriptions of everything the same day of the inspection. My father, a general contractor, was present during Mr. Roche's inspection and said he was very impressed. My father is a HUGE stickler for competence/ details, so that's saying a lot. Look no further, hire these folks.

We have been trying to buy a house in a seller's market since February. Through an unusual series of events we ended up getting the first house we looked at. David did the inspection and was not only thorough, but courteous and professional. He pointed out everything that we needed to know, Patiently explained what had to been done, and answered all of our questions. He left no corner unexplored. We highly reccomend him and this company.

We hired Buyers Inspection Service to do our initial home inspection and had the BEST experience. David was extremely professional and polite. He walked with us through our home explaining things as he went along and was more than happy to address any questions or concerns we had along the way. When everything was finished I received a physical copy of the entire report in a conveniently labelled binder and I also received a copy via e-mail. I've already recommended Buyers Inspection Service to some friends and would do so again and again. Top notch service. If there was a six star option I would give it. Thank you David and the team behind the scenes that I didn't get to meet, you guys are wonderful!

Great experience throughout with Buyer's Inspection Service. Got a call right after my realtor booked the inspection to set everything else in motion. Ryan did the inspection on the house I'm buying and was very thorough. As a first time home buyer it was nice to have someone explain things to me and take the time to show me each issue that he saw. I would definitely recommend using Buyer's Inspection Service and Ryan White as your inspector.

David was amazing, he performed an inspection prior to listing my home, is was so thorough, and his report was extremely detailed, very useful when making the necessary repairs before listing. Then, David inspected the home I was buying and I felt so confident in his skills I just new that if there was something wrong with my new home that David was going to find it! David went totally above and beyond the normal call of duty, even speaking to a nervous home buyer in order to reassure them that there were no major flaws in the home. I would NEVER use anyone else for this service! Thank you so much, David!

David performed an inspection on a potential house I was interested in back in early November, the thorough process that he took to investigate each and every section of the house was amazing and very comforting knowing that I was getting the best inspection possible and would receive the most detailed report possible outlining all of the good and potential flaws of the house. It was with this very detailed inspection and reporting process that I was able to make a more conscientious decision during the home buying process. Thanks to David I now own the house that he inspected and feel very comfortable a month into owning the house based on the report he provided. I would highly, and I mean highly, recommend Buyer's Inspection Service, especially David, to inspect your next potential home. His attention to detail is second to none! Don't search anywhere else when you need your next Home Inspection!!!

A good friend of mine referred us to Buyer's Inspection Service for our first home purchase. From the kind gentleman who helped book the inspection to the inspector, David, who came through and completed the inspection- every single step of the way was handled professionally and with the highest standards. An extremely detailed description of every piece of the inspection with color photos attached was provided on the spot and placed into an easy to read binder for our keeping. All I can say is WOW. 10 out of 10!
Paul Fant

David inspected a condo that we were interested in for our daughter's family. Thanks to David, he found MANY problems that were not visible at first glance. With his help we were able to eliminate this prospect and find a new site which we asked him to inspect. He was thorough, helpful, and clearly steered us in the right direction. Without his guidance we might have purchased a potential nightmare which we would have had to live with and make repairs later. Thank you David for a great job!

This company was great to work with! They promptly scheduled our inspection, provided a detailed list of things that needed immediate attention versus things that can be done at a later time, and then provided us with a physical and electronic copy of the report. Ryan was extremely professional and took the time to answer all of our questions.

David inspected our home yesterday. He was very thorough and he informed us of what he was looking for and what he found. He made a very detailed inspection and gave us a very detailed inspection report. If you need a home inspection call Buyer's Inspection Service and ask for David.

I used David to inspect my first home four years ago when I moved to Dayton. He was thorough and explained everything to me when I had questions. It was a no brainer to use him again now, four years later on the purchase of my second home! The service was awesome, I was present during the inspection and he is so detailed, and the paperwork is easy to understand. We Recommend this service.

We recently used Buyer's Inspection Service for the second time for home inspection services. About 5 years ago David inspected our current home. He was very thorough and detailed in his inspection and identified some importatnt issues that we were able get resolved before taking ownership of the home. Last week, Ryan inspected our new home and I was surprised by the level of detail involved in his inspection as he spent about 4 hrs pouring over our property. On both occasions, we felt comfortable that Buyer's Inspection Services had our best interest in mind, and our interactions with them have been handled with the utmost integrity. If you want a home inspection done right, this is a great company to look at.

I used David at Buyers Inspection Service recently and was extremely satisfied with everything! From his punctuality to his ability to clearly explain everything to my husband and I as we were new to this process. I highly recommend David and his company to anyone considering purchasing a home!

David inspected a home I am thinking about buying in Centerville. He is extremely knowledgeable about home repairs and he pointed out several issues with the home that need to be addressed immediately. He is very meticulous about noting every repair of the house in a detailed, easy to read report . He is very helpful and courteous. Also, arranging a date and time for the inspection was a simple process. I highly recommend the Buyer's Inspection Service! -Linda

David was exceptional, professional, and very thorough. He found a few minor issues and gave us peace of mind with our home purchase. Will definitely recommend Buyer's Inspection Service to anyone that is in the market for a home inspection.

David Roche gave me guidance on how to make an art studio safer and more efficient. He had excellent design suggestions for how to get the maximum amount of function in a small space. He is able to consult on all aspects of a project such as design, lighting, storage, heating, etc.

Great company to deal with, I wish my son had used them instead of the company they used. The attention to detail when Buyers Inspection Service inspects a property is amazing. Liked the lady who answered the phones, very Profesional!

As an experienced Realtor, I find it very easy to recommend this company. The attention to detail, willingness to answer questions, the way they present issues to my clients and explain whether they found a defect or teach them it's a maintenance item is so valuable. One of the few inspectors licensed in every direction! Behind every good realtor is a great inspector and this is mine! Worth every penny!

The inspection we got on our house was very detailed, to the point that I used it as a thorough 'to do' list when I was fixing it up. Buyer's inspection service was a pleasure to work with and found several items of concern we would have otherwise missed.

We were relocating to Columbus from Chicago and had a very tight timeline to find and purchase a home. We wanted to purchase a very old home but were hesitant about future repair cost. David from Buyer’s home inspection came highly recommended as an older home expert. He knew everything! He pointed out repairs for our closing ‘punch list’ as well a future issue that may arise. He went through every inch of our home and literally ‘crawled through’ sections. Giving us piece of mind and leverage to negotiate the house cost. Thank you so much!

We have used Buyer's Inspection Service on two occasions. We were more than pleased! David Roche is extremely knowledgeable and thorough. We have since recommended him to family and friends. Buyer's Inspection Service is the best!

David inspected a home I was considering purchasing in 2007. I thought I had done a pretty thorough inspection myself but missed many things that would be expensive to repair and were potentially dangerous. The detail of the inspection and the easily understood summary were very valuable. Due to the inspection, not only were necessary repairs made prior to the purchase, but I was able to negotiate a better price. Without the repairs and price reduction, the appraisal may not have been adequate for the loan needed. I would definitely use them again. Great value.

My furnace has a switch on the front panel it’s covered by a clear rubber cover you can push it in and hit the switch is that the disconnect switch?
Have never seen one like that, usually that clear cover is seen on “all electric heating systems” with heater coils and they would be breakers, which could then be used as a disconnect.
